Oh yes, definitely... which goes to show that there are usually many more important factors than than raw execution speed.
Although that said, if the app truly is compute-heavy, Python is almost certainly the wrong answer. For that matter, GAE is probably the wrong answer since instances are so underpowered. GCE is likely a much better answer... and there the OP can use his C++ code as-is.
